Yesterday marked the climax of the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League 2025, and fans were treated to a pulsating final as Trinbago Knight Riders edged out the Guyana Amazon Warriors to secure their 5th CPL title.
Key Moments & Turning Points
Both teams had shown excellent form leading into the final. Guyana Amazon Warriors had the top wicket-taker of the season, Imran Tahir, and some powerful batting from Shai Hope.
The match had its share of tension. In the chase, the Knight Riders held their nerve, pulling off a close finish to win by 3 wickets.
While not every over went their way, the TKR side executed under pressure—both with the bat and in clutch fielding moments.
Standout Players
Player of the match went to Akeal Hosein (Trinidad), for his stunning performance, taking two wickets, including that of Shai Hope, whilst delivering the winning boundary that brought the trophy home for the TKR.
Imran Tahir (Guyana) again proved why he was the season’s most feared bowler, finishing as leading wicket-taker.
Kieron Pollard was awarded Player of the Tournament after a stunning delivery of three sixes in quick succession whilst managing to catch three players out in an all-around brilliant display of sportsmanship.
What This Means
This title is TKR’s 5th—cementing their position as one of CPL’s most successful franchises.
For Guyana Amazon Warriors, it was a good campaign, but falling short in the final is tough, especially with standout individual performances throughout the season.
The win further boosts TKR’s reputation for delivering in clutch games, and strengthens their momentum heading into upcoming seasons.
Broader Reflections
The 2025 CPL showed just how competitive the league is—no easy wins, many close matches, and several teams capable of pushing for the title.
It reinforces the value of depth in a squad. Having reliable players down the order, and bowlers who can perform under pressure, often makes the difference in finals like these.
For fans, it was another reminder of why CPL remains one of the most exciting T20 leagues—vibrant crowds, big hitters, crafty spinners, and finishes that keep you on the edge.
